Free Red Dead Redemption DLC Bolsters Multiplayer in September

New multiplayer content is on the way for free as a show of thanks.

As was promised early last month, a batch of free downloadable content is on the way for Red Dead Redemption. It's intended to be a sign of appreciation for the fans who have supported the game since it came out last May -- hence the reason it's free.

The Myths and Mavericks bonus pack isn't as hefty as the premium DLC packs that were released last year, though it should breathe some new life into multiplayer. It'll include new multiplayer characters, including Landon Ricketts (pictured above), and new multiplayer levels for Deathmatch, Grab the Bag, and Gang matches, among other modes. A patch is planned to come out prior to the the DLC which will bring back the original settings for the Undead Overrun mode that was added with the Undead Nightmare expansion.

The DLC is currently on schedule to be available on the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network in September. Sadly, there is still no sign of a PC release.

A big problem I had

I love Red Dead Redemption, I really do, but first the single player would not load. Whenever I selected single player, it would just be stuck on the loading screen. But before that, I couldn't go into multiplayer due to a "corrupted file". So if want to play Red Dead Redemption at all, I have to sign into a different account and play single player on there. Thank god I beat the game after that happened.

I had this problem after downloading dlc...

What I did was remove the dlc, then try the game and it worked. So then I downloaded each dlc pack over and tried the game after each time and finally it worked. Something to do with them and the update I'm assuming messed it up.

Yippee!

Nice

I want an Online MP for Undead Nightmare, you know some missions like the normal MP but oh well, can't complain since this is free, and free is good right? I'm so getting this when it comes out, one of my favorite games, I still play it despite beating it once.
